Sat, 26 Nov 2016 09:32:42 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bethmassi/?p=10775#comment-52305You can only agree with the opinions. Microsoft offers only a little bit to the developers. After Microsoft closes all important RAD products (Foxpro, LightSwitch, Visual Basic) and does not consider it necessary to provide it as an open source, we will, like all other developers, also do so to join the Node.js community.

Microsoft does not offer a future for development products. The remaining products are absolutely not suitable for our customers. Many other developers have exactly the same problem. You can get it from the forums. Microsoft says goodbye to his developers.

Wed, 09 Nov 2016 18:09:25 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bethmassi/?p=10775#comment-49315Fully agree. A never ending flow of new “golden bullet” technologies and products that are obsolete before they even got finished:
– Winforms: Legacy
– WPF: Legacy
– SilverLight: Legacy
– WinRT for Win 8: Legacy
– WinRT for Win 8.1: Legacy
– LightSwitch: Legacy
– ASP.NET MvC: still valid but massively change in ASP.NET Core 1.0
– EF 6: Legacy
– LINQ to SQL: Legacy
– SharePoint Server App Model: Legacy
– Managed C++: Legacy
– SSIS: Legacy
– SSRS: Legacy
– A huge list of .NET version and flavors
– Windows Phone 8: Legacy
– XBox: soon to be legacy
– I can’t even count the number of addons, tools and additions to the SKUs of Visual Studio that are either available or available in the yearly (plus mutliple major updates cycle). Usually the one you would need is not available.

Here is where we are: 90% Windows 7, a massive amount of developers who are still doing WinForms applications in VS 2010 in C++. Azure not being a topic at all. It is not everybodies job is to learn how to do trivial demo apps with the latest and greatest tools. Most professional developers job is to use some gear to create some valuable applications. Not: spend 90% on finding out how the gear works and never deliver any value.

I’m doing some work with LIGHTSWITCH, and I’ve been facing some obstacles.
When using this code you show here in the visual studio 2015, it appears like an error:

If File.Exists(ExcelFile) Then
Dim fields As New List(Of String) From
{“CompanyName”, “ContactName”, “ContactTitle”, “Phone”}

OfficeIntegration.Excel.Export(Me.ShiftsSet, ExcelFile, “Midweek”, “A11”, fields)
End If
End Sub
End Class

In “OfficeIntegration” is the place where the VS 2015 marks with red underline.
Do I need to use another type of code?
Cheers

Last time I take a look at Xamarin he had only support for C # and did not meet my reality, my main focus is the desktop, I would something like the Oracle APEX, only focused on Microsoft products (Windows Server , SQL Server and Windows 7 – 8 – 10) with CRUD, REPORTS, GRAPHICS out of the box and can program in my favorite language (VB.NET) can thus take advantage of all the knowledge I already have in this language if microsoft get evolve powerapps for something of this level, all in one for developing LOB apps, will be perfect to us developers, Thank you for your attention and until next :)

Sat, 15 Oct 2016 20:21:37 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bethmassi/?p=10775#comment-44015It’s going to be more comparable to the mobile client, not the desktop app. It does do the CRUD part, has a data & screen designer, and can talk to REST/Swagger services AFAIK. Have you considered Xamarin & Xamarin.Forms for creating native Windows, iOS, Android apps? With Xamarin.Forms you can create one UI for these platforms including UWP / Windows 10 desktop.

Fri, 14 Oct 2016 05:23:00 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bethmassi/?p=10775#comment-43635Hello Beth,
I am today using the lightswitch (SL client) and works very well :)
however I have to think about the future and I am looking for a replacement for him,
but I can not find something from microsoft that meets me, I am a passionate about
microsoft products and would like to continue developing this platform, I will give
a look at powerapps and see if he can recreate my application done in lightswitch
with the same features that it has today.

– CRUD
– Reports
– Graphics
– Multi tenancy
– Session Control

All these above features I implemented in my Lightswitch SL Web app and managed to build
my company with this application, I can not disappoint my clients, I need to expand the desktop to desktop / mobile in the same application sharing the same code base.

I never used the powerapps you know if it supports such features listed here?
